Vlog #4: Brian McFright and Other Musings

Here is my new vlog, the first part of it is about Brian McKnight's new song that he is or at least was working on. I highly suggest you watch that video first then watch the vlog so you can see what I am talking about. And I also talk about a couple of other pop culture tidbits. Enjoy.

Watch This!

This is a really cool documentary put together by Heartless Creativity about a group of people putting on for the 757 (that is the Hampton Roads area in Southeast Virginia for those of you who aren't down with the area code lingo, proceed) musically. I am honored to know the guys of A New Born Thriller, they were guests a couple of times for the Urban Metal Music Festival shows that I used to put on in Radford. And I also remember going to one of the "Beechmont" rehersals waaay back in the day. And the guys of Teleport Team [they will ALWAYS be Frontside to me, sorry guys :)] are a couple of my really really good friends from high school. The other artists featured are BEEF and the Dope Dreamerz whom my brother and myself had the pleasure to see perform and was really in awe of them. In this doc they talk about things like how they all came to know each other and the struggles of trying to get noticed outside of the 757. It is a really good watch, please enjoy!

Yay!

I have to say that I absolutely adore the Italian alien shaped head funball that is Giuliana Rancic. I must also admit that I had watched her wedding special and reality series with her husband Bill, and I find them to be quite adorable. I watch a lot of trashy reality TV so when I watch their show its like cleansing my palette a little bit. A big part of the past seasons of their show concentrated on them wanting to have a baby and all the trials Giuliana had to go through. There have been a round of IVF that resulted in one pregnancy then unfortunately a miscarriage. After taking a year from trying to have a baby and just having some fun they soon decided to proceed with IVF again. Part of the process through the specialist they were seeing was to have Giuliana have a mammogram and the results pending a biopsy came back positive for breast cancer. Hearing these events truly made me feel for them. Finally yesterday came the great news that they are going to be parents! Giuliana herself is not pregnant but they are using a 'gestational carrier' where an already formed embryo of the Rancic baby particles is placed in a willing participant. I am really excited for them, I am currently waiting for my invite guurl.

Vlog 3: Jesus Is A Biscuit!

I just finished watching Monday nights RuPaul's Drag Race and needless to say I was not happy with the results. Those results, resulted to this. Enjoy.

Timeless Jammie

Carl Thomas for a second was that dude and this song is absolutely timeless. There are just so many good moments in this song. This is one of those songs that if you happen to hear it on the radio you sing it real loud with such conviction and jazz/ R&B hands. Yeah its that good.
But she still belooongs to someone else I WISH I WISH I NEEEEEVER MET HER at aaaalllll!!

Dark, Dark, Dark

If your into random, dumb and kind of gross out humor, you should check out Loiter Squad on Adult Swim. From the makers of Jackass and members of Odd Future this 11 minute show is a good time filler. This is one of my favorite clips from the show. This was on the premiere episode from a few weeks ago.


This is another of my favorite clips, also from the first episode.

Spitta Back At It

I love Curren$y, but being a Curren$y fan can be exhausting. I swear every week this kid is coming out with like complete albums. His work ethic is crazy, but although its so much quantity, its all quality. This is his new joint with Wale "What It Look Like" from his upcoming 450th album The Stoned Immaculate. I like the track, Wale provided a nice simple hook and also provides a verse. As always Curren$y is like butter on a track while Wale always seems to attack a track, Curren$y always melts into it becoming a part of the music. Anyways here's the video.

Warped Family Memories

A few minutes ago I started humming a tune. The tune was to Level 3 (8:23 of the vid above) of the original XMen game on Sega Genesis. I immediately started laughing because this game was a favorite among my father, brother and myself. I distinctly remember we were living in Brooklyn at the time and I would wake up in the middle of the night and my dad would be in our room playing this game. He was really good at it too. Another thing that my dad was good at was making up random songs. He came up with a little ditty that went to the music of level 3. The lyrics went along with the bass line, and it went a little something like this:

Come eat my doo doo,
You know you like,
You know you like it, come on and try it.
It just taste like candy and cookies,
I'd bet you would like it, come on and try it.

And then I would come in with the main melody line:

Eat my poooooo
You know it taste so gooooood.
Eat my poooo
You knooow it taaaste sooo goooood.

Yeah, I'm serious, this is the song that my father and my 9 year old self came up with. Now you probably can figure out where my weirdness comes from. He was quite the character, the apple doesn't fall far from the weird tree.

Schewitz Swag

So Drake just released the video to his current single "Take Care" ft Rihanna. I don't like the song (i always skip it when listening to the album) and I don't like the video. This post is not about that. This post is about the gem that I found over on OVO's Vimeo page. Just hours ago they released the video to "HYFR" ft Lil Wayne, and this video is super Jew Swag to the max. I don't think anyone (well yeah there's Matisyahu and the Beasties, but have you seen them pop Manischewitz in a video?) has ever repped my Jewish homies as hard as Drake does. I love that. I love this video. Watch.
